| Snell K/II V Information Thanks! I was wondering if that was the case.I played them last night and they sound quite good. A good deal for the money, and they are in perfect condition except for the woofer surrounds which show some age. | |
| Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre I am open to trying near field. Since the source is a PC to the Benchmark I might try putting the speakers on the desk with the monitor vs. across the room against the wall.How would people describe the differences between near field vs normal spe... | |
| Should I burn these? Bose and Dyson follow the same model. Huge $s for advertising, some supposedly interesting technology, high prices and poor performance. | |
| Any good moderately priced bluray players? Thanks for all the ideas. I think I will look at one of the Sonys or Panasonics. My main system includes a Linn Unidisk-SC which plays pretty much everything except Bluray and has digital inputs.I plan to connect the Bluray player to the tv with H... | |
| Amplifier recommendation for Spendor SP3/1P Thanks for the suggestion.I've never owned tubes and this setup will be in the family room for music/tv. I'm more inclined toward a solid state amp. Any ideas in that direction? | |
| What would you do? Stringreen,Remind your neighbor that Ferrari is busy trying to win the F1 world championship. I'm sure they appreciate their customers' contribitions and understanding:)bmdduck | |
| Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3? Thanks Meiwan and Donjr. Is it safe to assume that the C7ES3 is more full range than the S3/5R2? The S3/5R2 seems more directly comparable to the P3ESR based on it's size and price.As you move up the Spendor classic line to the SP3/1R2 and SP2/3R2... | |
| Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3? Good advice, thanks.I guess my impression of Harbeths is that they have great midrange, excellent for voice and they are very musical. I like blues, small group jazz and other instrumental music mostly. I also like some pop and classic rock music.... | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? I have a friend with 104/2's who uses an Adcom GFA-555 with them. He loves the combination but is admittedly not an audiophile. | |
| I wanna learn about Naim CD players Definitely check out the Naim forum.One thing to consider about older Naim players is whether parts are available. I don't think you can get parts for the CD3.5 for example. I used to have a CD5 which sounded great but those go for 6-700. They can... | |
| Older DAC an Option? I was wondering about the same thing, in particular about an Audio Research DAC-1 (20 bit). There is one for sale locally for $500. It seems like a great value from a great company. | |
| Naim Nait 5i-2 I used to drive Linn Ninkas with a Nait 5i-2 and they sounded great. I think they fit your criteria for used price and they are good looking and compact. I played mine in a fairly small room with good results. | |
| Best VALUE Linn amp for 5103 PreAmp I'm not sure how to put another thread here, but I started a thread back in 2008 on how to actively drive Ninkas. Maybe search for that because there were some good responses on Linn amps. This text is from the thread:Hello,I'm working towards the... | |
| Help with new old Snell Type Js Got the Snells up and running. So far they sound quite good, and I'm comparing them to my Ninkas. I would say the treble is not quite as transparent as the Linns, the bass is a little deeper but not quite as tight. I'm wondering if the speakers ne... | |
| Small monitors for tv/music I've been thinking about Tukans or the older Kan I if I can find a pair for a good price. I've had other Linn speakers and have Ninkas now. I always liked how they sound and I've been curious about the small BBC monitor sized Linns. There are two ... |
